Paying that little bit extra

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

There’s a growing trend in medicine to pay a bit extra (relatively speaking) to have your doctor return to the care your ancestors used to get.  The services include at home visits, taking you personally to the emergency room, knowing your voice (by actually talking to you), keeping the client list small enough to spend more than five minutes with you, etc, etc.  That would so rock.  However, with all the expenses in this world, who on earth has the money to pay for extra medical ones?  They’re expensive enough as is!  It bites!  I know how it goes though.  Medical care is an industry and just like in the industry I work in, you have to pay a bit extra if you want great service.  Good service is not cheap and great service is worth a lot of money.  So, in a nutshell, I’m thrilled that it’s coming back into style for doctors to give that level of personal care.  I just wish I could afford to participate in it!  :)
